We're starting after the Superbowl

For my birthday (in December) my husband got me the Wii Personal Trainer game. From the time we got married to December, I would whine and complain about gaining weight and how I need to buy more clothes because of this and that. I always talked about going to the gym but never went. I was turning into that person that I didn't want to be: a sayer and not a doer. I always tell people that actions speak louder than words and yet I wasn't doing that. Husband took action and bought this game. I was too happy. I can work out at home so no need to buy a gym membership (which is what I told him I originally wanted. Planet Fitness was running a $10/monthly membership with no contract). Then he said we can work out together. That statement was the push for me to my mind right and get these started. For those who have purchased or should I say, invested in this "person", hopefully you'll agree with me when I say OMG to the third power. We set up the 9 week program on easy and set it up where we worked out four days and rested three. The trainer talks you and encourages you when it seems like your real body isn't making the animated you move on screen. They do encourage like You can do this or Let's try again. It's all for you. Just imagine though; you yourself is doing the exercise but because the sensor isn't picking up on your movements, the animated you is just standing there. Where you've physically done ten push-ups but the screen only says two, you're ready to fight the chick on the screen. We're going strong for about three weeks and I start getting pains in both of my ankles. I dealt with it for about two weeks with waking up in the middle of the night with pain and having a hard time trying to walk. Finally I went to the doc (which I hate to do for anything) and found out I had tendonitis in both ankles. I was doing so good, people. I was working out and we were drinking water and trying to eat right. It's about two weeks since I've been to the doctor and they've gotten a lot better. I bought some work out shoes so I can get back into it. I got to. It's true about the gaining of ten to 15 once you get married. I cannot reveal my gain but it's time to get rid of it. So in addition to working out and changing our eating habits, we're (he's still doing it with me) going to start our HCG diet. I did it once before the wedding and I lost 7 pounds in a week and a half and that was it. My father and aunt lost bookoo weight so that's what I'm hoping for. We'll see. I know with this diet, I was hungry all the time so expect a lot more of angry blogs probably about food. :)
